Elbow and wrist pain often develop from repetitive activities that overload the small muscles and joints of the forearm. These structures can become irritated and painful when subjected to excessive strain, affecting both daily functions and sports performance.
Physiotherapy can help elevate elbow and wrist pain through tailored strengthening exercises, mobility work, and manual therapy.
Some of the common causes of elbow and wrist pain are:
The tendons and muscles on the outside of the elbow can be overloaded with repetitive tasks or poor body mechanics. Physiotherapy targets the cause of the problem, normalizing body mechanics and taking the strain off the small muscles.
The tendons and muscles on the inside of the elbow can be overloaded with repetitive tasks or poor body mechanics. Physiotherapy targets the cause of the problem, normalising body mechanics and taking the strain off the small muscles.
The wrist can be sprained following a fall or through sporting trauma. Physiotherapy aims to settle pain and strengthen the muscles round the problem area.
Fractures of the forearm and hand can occur following a fall or trauma. Rehabilitation is important after coming out of cast to ensure the wrist and hand is strong and to maximize sporting or functional outcomes.
